Wooramel River Retreat

Australia / Carnarvon, Western Australia
Location ID: #10254670

Wooramel Station is a family owned working cattle, sheep, goat and outback station stay. The property occupies an area of 1430 square kilometers/143,000 hectares with 60 kilometers of coastline frontage to the Indian Ocean, backing onto the Shark Bay World Heritage area and situated along the riverbank.

The Wooramel River is an upside down river running on the surface only 2-3 times a year for a couple of weeks at a time, after good inland rains. The river cuts through the property providing well grassed flood plains. The 60 kms of coastal plains also provide good grazing on native salt and blue bush pastures, while the remaining land system is covered with Wanyu and Acacia bushland.

The pastoral lease was established in the early 1800's but it was not until the Hall family purchased the station in the 1920's that drilling commenced for artesian water. Three bores with a few hundred kilometers of open bore drains were established, opening up previously unused country to stock.

One of the highlights at Wooramel River Retreat is definitely experiencing the naturally heated therapeutic artesian bore baths. Waters from the Birdrong aquifer travel from a depth 240m below the ground to the surface under its own pressure and is then piped into free flowing pools

The retreat is situated in the Coral Coast of Western Australia with a diverse landscape of quiet rivers meandering through the gum tress. The station takes you out to the coastline where you can see the mouth of the river

The station offers camping along the river, self contained units, and eco cabin tents. There is a cafe on site, communal fire pit, natural artesian baths.

The Station is 120 kms (1h 20min) south of Carnarvon. The trip out from Carnarvon is just a little over one hour drive. There is a airstrip located on the station

In Carnarvon, the summers (December - February) are short, hot, muggy, extremely windy, and mostly clear; the winters (June -August) are comfortable, windy, and clear; and it is dry year round.
